In which substance will light move slowest?

Physics

3 0

Larger index of refraction means slower light-speed in that material.

According to this chart, it's fastest in air and slowest in <em>diamond</em>.

Water flows at 0.65 m/s through a 3.0 cm diameter hose that terminates in a 0.3 cm diameter nozzle. (Recall, the density of wate
xeze [42]

Answer:

v2 = 65 m/s

the speed of the water leaving the nozzle is 65 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

Water flows at 0.65 m/s through a 3.0 cm diameter hose that terminates in a 0.3 cm diameter nozzle

Initial speed v1 = 0.65 m/s

diameter d1 = 3.0 cm

diameter (nozzle) d2 = 0.3 cm

The volumetric flow rates in both the hose and the nozzle are the same.

V1 = V2 ........1

Volumetric flow rate V = cross sectional area × speed of flow

V = Av

Area = (πd^2)/4

V = v(πd^2)/4 ....2

Substituting equation 2 to 1;

v1(πd1^2)/4 = v2(πd2^2)/4

v1d1^2 = v2d2^2

v2 = (v1d1^2)/d2^2

Substituting the given values;

v2 = (0.65 × 3^2)/0.3^2

v2 = 65 m/s

the speed of the water leaving the nozzle is 65 m/s

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A(n)  <u>living wage</u> is the idea that people should be able to purchase the essentials of life by working a forty-hour workweek. Many local municipalities have as a result set higher minimum wages than the federally mandated minimum wage to accomplish this goal.

Explanation:

Living wage is the idea given to reduce poverty specially in cities with higher costs. It's based on the fact that one who works forty hours per week, he or she should be able to afford the basic needs of life that includes the water, food and shelter. Research has shown that the implementation of this concept has played the role in reducing poverty and enhancing the quality of life of workers. Countries like New-Zealand and united kingdom has supported this concept.

Sholpan [36]

I haven't worked on Part-A, and I don't happen to know the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.  

But whatever it is, it's exactly, precisely, identical, the same, and equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun.

I think that's the THIRD choice here, but I'm not sure of that either.

1. Have you ever tried to undergo an X- ray to test on youur body? What can you see in the fiom after the examination? Why is th
liraira [26]

Answer:

1) λ < 2d,  2)  nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.

Light of wavelength 650 nm is normally incident on the rear of a grating. The first bright fringe (other than the central one) i
garik1379 [7]

Answer

given,

wavelength (λ) = 650 nm

angle = 5°

using bragg's law

sin \theta = \dfrac{n \lambda}{d}

d= \dfrac{n \lambda}{sin \theta}

d= \dfrac{1 \times 650 \times 10^{-9}\ m}{sin5^0}

d = 7.46 x 10⁻⁴ cm

number of slits per centimeter

  = \dfrac{1}{d}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{7.46\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow 1340 split per centimeter.

b) wavelength of two rays  650 nm and 420 nm

 d = \dfrac{1}{5000}

     d =  2 x 10⁻6 m

    we now,

sin \theta = \dfrac{n \lambda}{d}

for 650 nm

sin \theta = \dfrac{2\times 650\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 10^{-6}}

\theta =sin^{-1}(0.65)

θ = 40.54°

for 450 nm

sin \theta = \dfrac{2\times 450\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 10^{-6}}

\theta =sin^{-1}(0.45)

θ = 24.83°

now, difference

|θ_{650} -θ_{420}| =40.54°-24.83°

|θ_{650} -θ_{420}| =19.71°
